Is that a video games console? No, it's a Transformer!

Those robots in disguise could be anywhere, anything… even your games console. Takara Tomy, a toymaker based in Japan, is creating new Transformer toys that can turn into games consoles.

Due for release next year, Takara Tomy has recreated Optimus Prime as Sony’s original PlayStation that was released back in 1994. With 2014 being the 30th anniversary of Transformers, and the 20th anniversary of PlayStation, we can't see any reason not to combine the two – seems as good a reason as any to us.

The toy manufacturers have also created other transformers that turn into games consoles, such as a Megatron that’s disguised as a SEGA Genesis called ‘Mega Drive Megatron’.
